AJW TV 7/30/1992

Pretty big show for Zenjo here though you can see in the crowd the buildings only about 60% full. Had to have been disapointing considering what the main event was.
- (Fuji TV Tag Tournament R1) Mariko Yoshida & Sakie Hasegawa vs Takako Inoue & Etsuko Mita
From what was shown, only about 7 mins out of 14, this looked pretty good. Any combination of these 4 usually is. Takako & Mita dominated the early portion with a lot of brawling and attempted to go after Yoshida's bad arm though that doesn't go anywhere. Story of the match is Yoshida & Sakie just won't quit and keep fighting back. Finish comes when Yoshida misses her step up splash allowing Takako to go for her shoulder suplex only to have it reversed into a roll up by Yoshida to win.

- (Fuji TV Tag Tournament R1) Manami Toyota & Mima Shimoda vs Bat Yoshinaga & Tomoko Watanabe

Mostly full match, about 10-11 of 15 shown. Everyone exspects that it's a given the Sweethearts are advancing here so this match is all about the Goku Young Soldiers trying to prove they aren't going to be pushovers. Bat & Wat jump them before they can even get in the ring and right away start swinging chairs & stuff. They then remain in controll for most of the rest of the match. Toyota gets a little run of stuff and runs wild a bit with a thousand dropkicks but those segments don't last long. Mima gets a few good shots in of her own but largely plays the role of whipping girl here. She gets a bloody nose after getting hit by one of Bat's spin kicks here. Bat was super amped up for this match, in full on wrecking ball mode. Wonder if Bat was like 3 inches taller would she have gotten Hotta's eventual push instead? Hmmm. Anyways, late in the match Toyota hot tagged back in and this finally allows the TS to take controll, they hit a lot of big double team stuff, double dropkicks, stereo dives, etc.. and once Toyota is able to get Watanabe isolated it's over. Toyota gets the win after a rolling cradle followed up by a moonsault.

Insane Japanese Commercial whear giant cows invade a family BBQ and wreck shit up :)

- (Cage Match) Bull Nakano vs Akira Hokuto
7 mins out of 18 shown, FUCK YOU FUJI TV EDITING CREW. From what aired this looked awesome. Slugfest to start that sees Bull get the early advantage busting Hokuto open after smashing her head into the cage a few times. The Dangerous Queen is a vengefull one though and she fights back, fixing Bull a cage sandwhich of her own.

Hokuto ups the violence and has one of her cronies toss in her kendo stick. Leads to Bull dawning a crimson mask of her own and Hokuto continuing the beating. Big sequence whear she hits a ton of missile drop kicks allowing her to almost escape. Bull catches her though and as always, it doesn't take much for Bull to come back and start to dominate again. Bull hits the guiloteen and then points up top as the crowd knows what's coming now.

She leaps, she misses, she's fucked. Hokuto scambles out of the way at the last second and takes advantage. She hits 2 Northern Light Bombs in a row which would kill any normal woman or atleast knock them out. Bull however is still atleast concious and is able to grab Hokuto's foot as she tries to escape so Hokuto drops her with a 3rd NLB. She climbs up to the top of the cage and hits a giant drop kick which finally puts Bull down allowing Hokuto to get the HUGE win. 1st time Bull has lost in over a year as Hokuto becomes only the 2nd person to score a win over her since Bull won the title in Jan 1990. Post match, Hokuto cuts another promo in near tears which I believe roughly translates to "fuck you Gokumonto, LCO runs shit now". Backstage, she can barely walk. One has to go through hell to kill the devil afterall.
